Touring Screen Review - Do They Work?
Переглядів 313Місяць тому
This video is a short review on the Aftermarket Touring Screen that I bought for Jimi. The video does a review with the New Touring Screen at various speeds to see how this effects the wind blast over the screen and onto my body and into my helmet and then I do at test with the Stock Himalayan screen at various speeds to asses the difference. Preventing wind blast is important for 2 reasons. Fi...

A bunch of us from the Hatfield Royal Enfield Riders Club joined the day, starting out from The White Heart in Pirbright towards the Guildford & Sussex event.

452 Himalayan Test Ride
Переглядів 3,8 тис.3 місяці тому
This video is with thanks to the guys at Hatfields of Crowthorne who are my local Royal Enfield Dealer for letting me take out the new 452 Himalayan for a Test Ride to give you my views on the bike. The question was "Is This Bike My Next Bike". After watching this video I'm sure that you can see just how much I appreciated the bike and the new "Sherpa" engine putting out a very impressive 42BHP...
Is Bike Safe Worth It
Переглядів 4244 місяці тому
This video is about a Bike Safe event that I attended in Worthing with the Sussex Police. I have always been a bit skeptical about bike training courses and so I wanted to see if this was worth the effort. I think my conclusion will tell you all you need to know about how the day went.

Thank you
Ok
Ideal solution for traveling, thanks for the info 👍
Thanks for your comment Syd. I find it very useful with the Himalayan for longer trips and for when my wife is coming with me.
Thanks for your comment. It looks like they only do a screen for the Royal Enfield 650 Interceptor 😢
Madstad make the only screens worth buying imo. But quite expensive
A very comprehensive review. Great video as usual.
@@michaelwright937 thanks again for your comment and kind words of encouragement 😊
Jimi is off to the coast!
@@michaelwright937 thanks for your comment. I used to live in New Milton and Ringwood, so it was great to catch up with people and places that I used to frequent. 😎
Looks like a grand day out on Jimi
@@michaelwright937 it was the first time that I had attended and I really enjoyed it. The best advice that I would give to anyone who might be thinking about attending next year is to get into the food queue early because they get busy 😜😁
Perfect thank you, lovely bike a little beauty, thx to all, stay safe.
Thanks for your comment Chris. It is a fantastic little bike and I had loads of fun riding it on such an amazing event 😀
👍👍👍👍
Great video. Thanks for sharing. Subscribed
Thanks for your comment and for subscribing Steve. I have reciprocated. Please would you be so kind as to share with your subscribers to help me to grow my channel. 👍
There’s quite a bit of vibration on the bike through the foot pegs and bars ,enfeild should look at this for sales this might put people off a bit ,but it’s still good value and it dose do what it says on the tin ,it’s got the power now ,you can’t compare it with the 411 it’s a completely different bike people asked for this for years is it for you ,jimmy Australia age 72 still riding my bullet 350 fast enough for an old bugger like me 👍😎
I must admit that I didn't feel the vibration but you are not the first to mention this, however I do believe that it does get much better when the engine settles in.
Great to meet up with you in Killarney last weekend for the Bike Fest
Its 452 not 542😂.❤
Thanks for the comment.
Thanks again for noticing the deliberate mistake. This differentiates my video title to all others 😉😁
You all looked so smart, what a good cause and fun day!
Thanks for your comment and your kind words 😊. It is indeed a great cause 👍
The colour of the little classic 350 is Halcyon Grey.
Thanks for your comment Derek👍 I'll take your word for the name of the colour of that great little bike. All I know for certain is that I had a load of fun on it 😅
glad that you are loving it.
Thanks for your comment 👍
Wonderful footage. I am the proud owner of a vintage Yamaha RD 350 LT and would've loved to be there riding with you gentlemen.
Thanks for your comment. It was a fantastic day. Register on their website and that'll keep you posted for next year's event. I will certainly be there. It's all for a great cause. Oh and that's a lovely bike you have 👍
DGR 2024 also held on 19th May INDIA(Mizoram)
Thanks for the comment. Yes Sir. I believe that it's held on the 19th May Globally
Pre ordered 2023, road tested April 24.. and didn't like it at all. Vibration made it feel like the 125s I used to ride... cancelled order. Pick up shotgun 650 next week.
Thanks for your comment. I know what you mean Jimmy. It is a lovely engine though. Watch out for my next test ride on something similar to the 450 Himalayan.
Great Video Noel, Thank you for making and posting this. Such a great day and I feel privileged to have been part of it.
Thanks Ian. It was a fantastic day and I'll certainly be booking a place on this ride next
There's something very appealing about simple utilitarian motorcycles and the new Himalayan 450 looks to be a great bike being offered at an amazing price. I now ride a Honda CB500X, but I have happy memories of riding 'thumpy' singles. Cheers.
Thanks again for your comment. It is a great bike with nearly double what I have at the moment on my 411 Himalayan. I will be seriously looking to make the change in about 12 months time once the second hand market has settled down for the 411.
My dad had a form of Parkinson's, therefore I appreciate your vision for the new channel. I have subscribed and will look forward to seeing the channel grow. I live in Devon and one of my favourite rides in your direction is the coastal route to Abbotsbury and the spectacular stretch of road behind Chesil beach.....perhaps we will be able to meet up sometime! I admire your positive attitude and wish you well with the new project. 👍
Thanks for your kind words of encouragement Quentin. I would be interested in taking a ride out in your neck of the woods, so to speak. I haven't been down that way for a while. Drop me a message and we'll see when we can get together. 07824 641269
I like this bike
Thanks for your comment. I am a big fan of this bike too.
I've done bikesafe and as you say Noel it's definitely worth doing
Thanks for your feedback John 😀 Look forward to getting out for a rideout in your part of the country 👍
See you soon Noel.
Thanks for the invitation to take a bike tour around the Yorkshire Dales with you. Looking forward to the ride 😀
Good presentation.
Thanks Jonathan 👍
Great video, really informative. Looking forward to your next video. I'm liking the jacket. 😉
Thanks Brian for your kind words of support and for the appreciation of a quality garment 😁. Perhaps you might consider a Bike Safe training course, if you haven't already been on one 👍
I think training courses like this are especially important this time of year. The motorcycle accident rate shoots up in the spring as the 'fair weather' riders get back in the saddle, and a bit of a brush up would probably help with that a lot. This is probably why all the courses near you were booked out though! Great job on the video, can't wait to see what you do next!
Thank you for your kind words of encouragement and support. Yes I'm a firm believer in some form of additional real world training for those riders who have recently passed their bike test and also, as you say a refresher course at this stage of the riding season can't be a bad thing. I have loads of great stuff lined up for this year, starting with an invitation from one of my subscribers to join him for a tour of the Yorkshire Dales later this week. Watch out for that video and I will be test riding the new 450 Himalayan. Thanks again for your support x
Fancy a ride round South Wales?
Indeed, i would love to. Do you have anywhere special in mind and how many days should I allocate? It would be great to go away for the weekend.
What a great idea would love to do a ride with you sometime J
Hi John, Thanks for your message. I would love to do a ride with you. What part of the country are you from and when were you thinking of getting the date in the diary?
@meandjimi2024 I'm in St Albans Im free most Weekdays From 20th May but work Fridays John
@@johnalbone3372 That sounds great John. I'm available for a ride on the 23rd May? Email me details of where you want to meet and I look forward to being shown around your part of the world.
